Run rate什麼意思

"Run rate" is a term used in cricket to describe the rate at which a team is scoring runs over a given period of time, usually over the course of an innings or a specific number of overs. It is calculated by dividing the total number of runs scored by the number of overs bowled, and is often used to predict the final score of a team or to compare the performance of teams across different matches.

For example, if a team has scored 100 runs in 20 overs, their run rate would be 5 runs per over (100 runs / 20 overs = 5 runs per over). If the team continues to score at the same rate, they would be expected to score 250 runs in a 50-over innings.

In the context of business or finance, "run rate" may also refer to the projected annual income or expenditure based on current monthly or quarterly results.
